On Sunday the 28th of July, Badminton Ireland will hold a parent's forum and a meeting about the National Underage Squad system for 2013/2014 season.
”Parent education is as important as player education in achieving success in sports today. To make it to the top in anything is the end result of parents, players and coaches understanding their roles in a player developement process. With clear guidelines and agreements between each team member, our roles and areas of responsiblity will become clear setting up a solid platform for success. Our parents forum conference on Sunday the 28th of July will help us make these guidelines clearer so every young player can reach his/her full potential”. Tom Reidy
